Drive carefully, schools are open!
Today is the first day of the school year for most Springfield youth and drivers are reminded to be cautious. Students will be waiting for buses, crossing streets and entering and exiting buses.

I agree, be careful.
ReplyDeleteI saw a kid REALLY get hit by a car while I was in the Navy in base housing.
Thank GOD she survived and actually went to school that day. The lady that hit her was applying makeup while driving. The makeup looked like crap after she was bawling her eyes out for almost killing a child.
Just saw an article today in the Eagle Times that one of the select board members offered to buy the vacant schools for one dollar. Didnt get a chance to read the whole article but wouldn't that be a conflict of interest and profiting from town business? What is wrong with the people in this town? Ethics much?
ReplyDeleteHow about what's wrong with the school board who is authorized by the voters to rid the town of these old school buildings, and yet they do NOTHING. Mr. Yesman is at least bringing up the topic. Do anything much?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing Mr. Yesman is interested in is finding another real estate opportunity to put money in his pocket! Whatever committee is formed in the future of the Park Street building, he should not be part of. There is a strong conflict of interest there!
ReplyDeleteI agree Yesman established a conflict of interest. In addition, he completely distorted the purpose of that resolution. In order for the School Board to have maximum flexibility in trying to determine what to do with those schools, they by law had to get an authorizing vote at Town meeting. The resolution simply authorized them to sell or otherwise dispose of a list of School properties, it was not a vote to mandate the school to sell. The word "shall" is simply the standard manner of presenting such questions to the voters.
ReplyDeleteSo can I, as a citizen, place a bid?
DeleteSure.

ReplyDeletecan't wait to read that.
If it is as you say
They should be removed from the board.
100% of their prior decisions and actions should be questioned and reviewed in public.
and the police should be called.
the criminal take over must stop now.
Everyone out there who is alive. Dig in and fight back.
One of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. is getting rid of its police department.

Follow @andrewjmachAmid what they call a “public safety crisis,” officials in Camden, N.J., plan to disband the city's 141-year-old police department and replace it with a non-union division of the Camden County Police.
Camden city officials have touted the move as necessary to combat the city’s growing financial and safety problems. The entire 267-member police department will be laid off and replaced with a newly reformatted metro division, which is projected to have some 400 members. It will serve only the city of Camden starting in early 2013.
Wow. From "schools are open" to fire the select board in only two comments!
